Ask Veritas Prep Admissions Consulting

Hi,
My GMAT score is 710 (50(93%ile) in Quantitative & 36(78%ile) in Verbal) and I scored 4.0/6.0 (19%ile) in the analytical writing section. I am concerned about my low scores in Verbal Section and in analytical writing. Please advise if my low score in Verbal Section and in analytical writing could pose any hurdle to my chances of getting into top B schools.

Your GMAT score is excellent and should not be an area of concern. If your verbal score concerns you then just be sure to highlight your communication skills through your essays and interviews. Both will give admissions committees an in-depth view of your verbal/communication skills.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply and guidance. I am much relieved now. Please also advise if AWA score of 4.0/6.0 could create some hindrance for me in top B schools.
